Advice for a Prince Of Wales Sitka Deer Hunt

[Mustangs Rule]

Any thoughts about hunting early up high, long shots or late fall along the coast, closer shots.

What rifle caliber, scopes worked for you. I would take my Sako SS Finnlight carbine in 308 with a simple scope

Any butchering freezer services you can recommend.

I would probably lean more towards late season and kayak hunt. Anyone try that, camping along the shoreline. When do mosquitoes end

Thank you
